“Racist! Nazi!” — Popular Streamer Yells At Chaeyoung During TWICE Concert
An incident involving popular streamer Vanessa Wolf and TWICE‘s Chaeyoung has caught the attention of fans following the group’s recent concert in Brazil. During the group’s performance, as Chaeyoung appeared on the big screen, Wolf was recorded yelling “Racist! Nazi!” from the audience, stirring controversy and reigniting discussions around Chaeyoung’s past scandal.
The incident references last year’s scandal when Chaeyoung faced backlash for wearing a T-shirt adorned with the image of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious wearing a Nazi swastika. The photo, which has since been deleted, led to Chaeyoung issuing a public apology on her Instagram account, followed by 8.6 million netizens.
In her statement, the 23-year-old singer expressed remorse for her oversight regarding the symbol’s historical and cultural implications.
I deeply apologise for not thoroughly reviewing it, causing concern. I will pay absolute attention in the future to prevent any situation similar from happening again.

Vanessa Wolf — who gained popularity through her gaming content and streams on Twitch — posted the video of her shouting at Chaeyoung on Instagram, sparking a wave of reactions from both fans and critics. The incident has not only brought Chaeyoung’s past apology back into the spotlight but has also raised questions about the boundaries of fan interactions with artists during live performances.
